A new restaurant is all the rage right now in the formerly divided city of Berlin. It is the brainchild of British set designer Tony Hornecker. The temporary "pop-up" restaurant is made from scrap materials.
Playing off Berlin’s reputation of encouraging artistic vitality, Hornecker decided to leave his mark on that city’s urban landscape. He opened The Pale Blue Door in one of Berlin’s community gardens. The name refers to the blue front door that he scavenged from the garbage.
He commented: "A lot of people are saying it’s a such a quintessentially Berlin experience that doesn’t really exist any more in Berlin, but we’ve managed to get back to that."
The restaurant can seat twenty diners at a time and Hornecker, himself, makes the food.
The bizarre eatery is so popular that it will stay up a further three weeks. It was initially intended to remain open for 12 days.
Hornecker has previously run "pop-up" restaurants in London, Buenos Aires, Santiago and at the Glastonbury Festival in England.
